Irrefutable evidence displays the need of medical personnel to enter hostile environments as quickly as possible to render trauma care. Yet, amidst all these procedural changes and additions of equipment, one fact of the matter still remains: victim survivability is dependent on time-to-intelligent-medical intervention, and time-to-intelligent-medical intervention is dependent on command and control.

No matter how expensive your equipment is, how fast your apparatus can go, or how much protection your ballistic vests might provide, the way first responders are commanded and controlled in a deliberate manner at hostile events will seal the fate for many of the victims.
